jogging in Camp John Hay

Today I walked the streets of Baguio City to revisit The Jeepney magazine vendors.  Afterward I decided to walk to home in Tuding, as is my custom lately (the past two weeks).  I have three routes.  Today I walked south on Session Road to Camp John Hay, then I ran on the Eco-trail.  That was fun.  Jogging uphill was quite challenging in some places, because I’m not very fit, Baguio City is at altitude with humid air, and the trail was steep.  I recommend walking the Eco-trail to everyone who can, and I’d encourage runners from the lowlands who visit Baguio City to run Camp John Hay.  It’s less-polluted and more picturesque and peaceful.  You can go too fast downhill on the Eco-trail, jarring your knees, or you can slow to a jog or walk downhill where it’s steep.  It reminded me of running in University of Tennessee’s arboretum in Knoxville.
